Trying to keep a public torrent alive is hard work, but someone has to do it.
Back when I had VDSL and even ADSL, I’d try to hit 1.1 ratio because if everyone did that the risk of information being lost would be close to 0%. Nowadays with gigabit internet, all that prevents me from seeding is hard drive space, and 8 TB doesn’t fill up quickly with how few good movies and series there are these days. I guess that’s one way to stop piracy, just make fewer and worse series/movies.
“Good” is in the eye of the beholder. Have you considered that the quality hasn’t changed much, but instead you’ve become more discerning as you age? I certainly have far less tolerance for the stupid shit I used to think was funny long ago.
Unfortunately BitTorrent clients are kinda messy and don’t make it easy to maintain a long term seeding library.
I’ve moved to qbittorrent which is a bit better than Deluge on that regard, but it’s still not great.
Yeah, they are messy. I tried BiglyBT a few years back, and while I love a lot of features, I think that was overkill for sure. qBittorrent is the golden standard at the moment for sure.

Yeah, I’m aware of that. And if I liked copoganda I’d be swimming in shows. That’s just getting older I guess.
There’s so much good shit on TV, and at least half of it doesn’t involve cops.
I like how safe you’re playing that estimate 😂
I get that. I used to think The Big Bang Theory was funny
*shudder*
Depends on the comparison. Better than sitting in silence, worse than touching grass.
I think I would rather watch paint dry than The Big Bang Theory tbh

Good definitely is subjective. I have Robot Jox in my library and it won’t be deleted until I’ve left this mortal coil.
I don’t know who you are, but I love you- spread the good word that “there is no war, only Robot Jox”…
I heard Crash and Burn won’t be deleted either.
Somehow I forgot about that one. I don’t think I ever saw it.
Theoretical sequel, fun to watch if you like 90s post-apocalyptic thriller scifi, although there’s barely any mecha in it.
Never mind then. The bots were the draw in the original. That and, of course, the acting!
The acting’s.not bad for a B movie.

Also I don’t understand the upload torrents limit, ok, limit concurrent uploads, but everything I’m seeding should be available all the time
